Hi,Is there a way to set up hot-keys in a custom manner? I have a Logitech S520 keyboard. As far as I can tell, it is not listed as a supported keyboard in "Keytouch" and/or "Keyboard" programs used for setting up keyboards.

If I click on "Keyboard Shortcuts" I see that it is easy to alter the pre-set shortcuts, but what I want (example Fn+F2 to launch Open Office Writer) is not possible. How do I overcome this limitation?

In the Compiz settings under Command you can preset up to 11 commands.

This can also be accessed in gconf-editor if not using compiz. From the configuration editor, Go to Apps -> Metacity; from here you can set up the global keybindings (key combo) and window keybindings (actually command).

OK, in general I think I have this sorted, except there is still a bit of a problem. My keyboard (Logitech S520) has a special "FN" key in blue, that is to be used for keys with additional blue text. For example, the F1 key also has the logo for MS WORD in blue. I want this key to be used to launch OO Writer. To do this, one holds down the blue FN key and presses F1 key.

When I try to assign this key combo for "Run Command 0", I get "XF86Battery" and a small pop-up notice that the system is running on AC Power.

I entered "ooffice -writer" as the command for "Command line 0", but I only get the AC power notice.

Is there a way around this issue?

I would like to launch OO Writer when I hold the special blue "FN" key and press F1.
